B: The boss assigned me a great task to take Mr. Nash from Keats Company out to dinner this evening.
A: Oh, that company is one of our most important clients. I see why you're worried.
B: The boss said that I have to do a good jib entertaining him. If the guy is not satisfied the boss will kill me.
A: Is the boss going, too?
B: No. Everything will be easy for me if he is going. I was told that Nash is a heavy drinker and chain smoker. It's going to be hard keeping up with him.
A: You shouldn't try. If you drink too much, you might have trouble keeping the conversation going.
B: I'll have trouble in any case. That guy is interested in photographing and butterfly collecting, and wherever he is he likes talking about that. I know nothing about the two things.
A: Why don't you take him to the Rose Restaurant? There are a lot of really beautiful hostesses and delicious food there, so you can draw his attention away from photographs and butterflies and make up for the poor quality of the conversation.
B: I have thought of that, but the boss doesn't want to spend much money. He's such a well-known miser.
A: I guess you could pay half the bill out of your pocket.
B: I often end up doing that. I've spent as much as the boss has done entertaining clients.
A: Then the boss should give you a pay raise.
B: He never even thanks me, let alone a pay raise作者: 幽幽草 时间: 2008-2-21 11:29 标题: 关于公司接待地对话（2）
A: What are you going to have, Mr. Nash? What about the lobsters?
B: Actually, I don't think I will. I'm going to have some fish and lamb, if you don't mind.
A: OK. What about some trout? They cook very delicious trout here.
B: Then some trout.
A: I'll have some steak.
B: It seems to me that you don't like steak. You didn't eat that when we had dinner in New York.
A: That's diffirent. It wasn't even cooked!
B: It was rare. They call it saignant.
A: Does that mean alive?
C: Have you decided, Sir?
A: Yes, some trout, lamp, steak, and two special salads, two vegetables, and carrots and peas.
C: How would you like your lamb?
B: Not too rare, medium.
C: What about the steak?
A: Well done, please. Very well done.
C: And what would you like to drink?
A: A bottle of Vodka and some juice, two bottles of Portuguese rose, and some juice.
